And the boy has been arrested. (Link is work safe, btw.)
Apparently this is quite the buzz over there.
:eek:
California porn studios are probably arranging at this moment to outsource their work to Bangalore.
Being Indian, and knowing plenty of Indian boys, I think cyberporn can only help.
That is the country where I’m still told not to walk in the market alone as a female, and where men will follow you, singing songs from famous Hindi movies, in an effort to pick you up.
When I worked in the Arabian Gulf, many of the guestworkers were Indian, and we frequented the same cybercafes, which are huge there. Porn was huge, including commercial sites featuring Indian women.
This furor appears to be more hypocrisy over the level of society featured in the film than a new discovery of internet porn in Indian society.
Also, has anyone taken a good look at the carvings on many South Asian temples? Pornographt has been alive and well in the region for centuries, if not millenia.
I think that’s different from accessing it over the internet. I wonder how much of the kerfluffle is over the ages of the participants in this little video?
really? i don’t mean to be rude or anything, but that sounds funny to me. i blame the dance behind the trees routine in those movies.
No, you’re not rude, and this has really happened.
What gets me, is they don’t seem to have any idea what they would do if I actually stopped. I’m not going to go home with you and have sex with you just because you sang. But a date? dinner? movie? They don’t have any concept of this.
And that’s not all. My two (male) cousins almost kicked the ass of one guy who either accidentally or deliberately skidded his motorcycle so it stopped right in front of me. They were FURIOUS. I thought it was accidental, but from the way the reacted, it was an accepted way to p/u girls. WTF? Nearly running me over with your motorcycle is a way to my heart? I prefer the singing.
May I ask why? Not trying to be a smart ass, wondering what makes the difference. Also, recall that this is the society that gave us the Kama Sutra…
I understand that. But there is a difference between carvings in a religious setting and actual humans performing oral sex on video.
One can be considered artistic. Not so much the other, especially since it seems the boy getting the hummer was taping it so he could show off to his friends.
If someone put child porn on ebay here, I’m sure it would cause a fair stir as well.
Are you saying that’s the equivalant…? Or are you saying this was child pron?
Neither statement holds truth. Child porn is not equivalant to two teens going at it, and I believe the girl was 17, which is not a child by any stretch of the imagination.
Child pron! :smack:
In the US, selling video of a 17 year old girl giving a blowjob is illegal. It’s referred to as “child porn.”
Selling child porn is generally considered a very bad thing. People go to jail for such things. People are ostracized from society for such things.
And in Holland, it’s a cottage industry.
Selling child pornography is a cottage industry in Holland?
I’m not interested in doing the research, but somehow I find that unlikely. Anything’s possible, I suppose.
“Thank you, come again. and again. and again.”
In India, and a lot of the world, however, people frequently get married off at a very young age and I don’t believe that there’s quite the same hang-up attached to sexual activity before 18 there is here. When you look at, say, the thousands of young Nepali girls forced into prostitution for Indian truckers, I’d say a move to porn as a means of getting one’s jollies would be a trade up for human rights.
How old is the fellow again? In many states I believe you can be 19 and still legally have consensual sex with a 17 year old, the age of non-minor pegged to the age of the minor. Thus in the US we may not have a case that this would in fact be statutory rape, although the kiddie porn law would still apply. We also seem to be arguing that he alone wanted to make the tape, although we can assume she consented.
The anger over the girl having sex wouldn’t be so much to protect her rights as to protect her family’s image and their ability to cash in on her sexual use via marriage, said value now being lowered. The outrage wouldn’t be that she fellated, but that she did so of her own accord instead of waiting to crank out kids for the societally-approved suitor. I don’t much mind seeing young people violate old mores in a context like this, and outside of our own culture, IMHO in this case the usual frame of porn-as-exploitation argument doesn’t apply. In other words, you have religious fundementalists arguing that the couple violated her family’s ability to exploit her by doing what they wanted to do, also displaying the fact that, yes, people have extramarital sex in India as elesewhere. I very much see this tortured position as hypocritical.
Re: temple carvings. They usually face outward for the passer-by, and are not in the buildings to my observation. Remember also that temples are extremely common and more a part of everyday life than our churches, which we tend to approach differently (a seperate holiness) as spaces in a cultural context. Most of the carvings I’ve seen are whimsical, graphic representations of multiple partners, beastiality, all imaginable combinations of oral, vaginal and possibly anal sex and you’re unlikely to see much of anything in our porn mags here that’s “dirtier.” Thus I conlcude the modern and apparently “western” behavior of the woman is said to offend as opposed to the graphic depiction of sex itself.
